Terry Goodkind Switches Publishers from Tor to Putnam

Best-selling fantasy author Terry Goodkind is switching publishers from Tor to Putnam for a new three book deal. Goodkind has been with Tor for a long time but decided to make the switch because he and his agent, Russell Galen, felt Putnam could get them into wider markets. The three books will be mainstream fiction, not fantasy, and they will not be part of a series. Tor, who has published Goodkind’s novels for many years, is also the publisher of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series. It will be interesting to see how this new venture and new genre works out for Goodkind.
